The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is a laser-based inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research device, located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, United …

NIF is the world’s most precise and reproducible laser system. It precisely guides, amplifies, reflects, and focuses 192 powerful laser beams into a target about the size of a pencil eraser …

This is the greatest negative pressure the patient can generate, often also referred to as the NIF (Negative Inspiratory Force). It is measured asking patients to inhale as hard as they can with …

NIF enables scientists from across the nation and around the world to conduct unprecedented experiments in nuclear physics, high energy density science, materials science, weapon …

In “indirect drive” inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments on NIF, up to 192 laser beams are fired into a centimeter-sized hollow cylinder called a hohlraum. This generates a “bath” of soft …

On Dec. 5, a team at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone, also known as scientific energy breakeven, …

National Ignition Facility, laser-based fusion research device, located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, U.S. A major goal for the device is to create a self …

National Ignition Facility Overview. 1.1. National Ignition Facility and Users. 1.2. History. 2. Governance, Roles and Metrics. 2.1. Governance Plan. 2.2. Time Allocation and Experiment …

Negative inspiratory force (NIF) is the maximum pressure that can be generate against an occluded airway and is a marker of respiratory muscle function and strength. The Negative …

In a sense NIF, the world’s highest-energy laser system, is one big laser amplifier. As with most large lasers, NIF uses intense flashes of white light from giant flashlamps to “pump” electrons …
